Brody died Thursday at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, said hospital spokeswoman Susan Mar in a phone call today.

Morrison said he learned of Brody's death today from the Sacramento Coroner's Office and the hospital. He said the child officially died from drowning.

The 3-year-old had slipped into the water at a swimming area at the Oroville Wildlife Area on Wednesday afternoon.

After a search that took several minutes, Brody was found and plucked from the water at around 3:40 p.m. by his parents. His mom has been identified as Johnna Guess of Oroville.

The child's parents immediately called 9-1-1 and began CPR, then whisked the child from the Wildlife Area to get medical help.

Paramedics met the boy's parents at Ophir Road and took him to Oroville Hospital. Although the boy had gone without air for a "significant" period of time, doctors at Oroville Hospital were able to detect a heartbeat and pulse and transferred Brody to the UC Davis hospital.

Morrison also said another baby drowned Thursday night, but county officials couldn't be reached to confirm it.

Cal Fire-Butte County Capt. Rick Manson said today that besides the Wildlife Area incident, there were two possible drownings reported Wednesday and Thursday.

At around 8:25 p.m. Wednesday, Cal Fire responded to a call about an unresponsive man in a pond in the 4200 block of Olive Highway.

Manson said he did not know the outcome of the call.

On Thursday, Cal Fire responded to an address in Kelly Ridge at around 9:06 p.m.

Manson said the Kelly Ridge call involved a 1-year-old boy who had possibly drowned in a pool. He said he did not know the outcome in that incident either.

Manson indicated the number of calls related to drownings Wednesday and Thursday were unusual.

"We've had quite a few the past few days," he said. "We haven't had that many consecutively since I've been here ... They're all unfortunate accidents."
